A guest arrived at the Oriental Folklore Research Institute.
"Gulp, gulp, burp~"
"You're already so old, drinking every day. Be careful, your body won't be able to take it."
Eichi looked speechlessly at the old man behind him, who was carrying a sake gourd.
Naobito.
"Hahaha, when you grow up, you'll understand the beauty of alcohol."
Naobito laughed heartily, patting Eichi's shoulder.
"I don't think I'll ever understand it in this lifetime."
To be honest, Eichi had no interest in alcohol across two lifetimes.
The number of times Eichi voluntarily drank in his previous life could be counted on one's fingers.
He only drank when friends needed to vent about something, or when something happened at home.
All other times were for social obligations.
Bang, bang, bang.
A series of gunshots caught Naobito's attention.
The two followed the sound of gunshots to the training ground.
In the field, five people were practicing target shooting with guns.
"Oh? Is this your new Kuguru Squad?"
"They're not called the Kuguru Squad."
"Haha, it's all about the same. To what extent can those things perform now?"
Naobito asked curiously.
"They can consistently exorcise Grade 2 Cursed Spirits, but the cost is still too high, so they usually exorcise Third-Grade Cursed Spiritss."
"Hmm, not bad."
Naobito was carefully observing the training of the personnel in the field.
As the most open-minded head of the Zenin Clan, Naobito keenly noticed something.
That is, the conservative atmosphere of the Jujutsu World probably wouldn't last for many more years.
The personality of Gojo Satoru, the next head of the Gojo Family, goes without saying; everyone in the Jujutsu World knows it.
Eichi, who intended to tear down and rebuild the Zenin Clan, was also preparing to change the Jujutsu World.
In a few decades, when Gojo Satoru and Eichi cultivated their own forces, it would be time for a revolution in the Jujutsu World.
Therefore, Naobito wanted to understand Eichi's ideas in advance.
"Are you planning to have these ordinary people exorcise Cursed Spirits in the future?"
"For Grade 3 and Grade 4, yes, but Grade 1 and Grade 2 Cursed Spirits still need Jujutsu Sorcerers to exorcise them."
In multiple previous experiments, Eichi found that even with good equipment, it would be very difficult for ordinary people with their physical quality to deal with Grade 2 Cursed Spirits.
The reason is simple: the overall quality difference is too great.
The speed and strength of a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit already far exceed those of ordinary people, plus they have various abilities.
It's difficult for ordinary people to respond to attacks from a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit.
Even with the most advanced equipment from the laboratory, it's useless if they can't hit it.
They can't just deploy large-scale destructive weapons in the city, and even if they could, the Institute can't produce them right now.
"There aren't many Jujutsu Sorcerers who can deal with Grade 1 Cursed Spirits."
Naobito mentioned casually.
Eichi knew this was a reminder not to overlook ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers.
If all the tasks of exorcising Grade 3 and Grade 4 Cursed Spirits, which they rely on for survival, were taken by ordinary people, they might cause a huge uproar.
"What is the current population of the island nation?"
"Hmm, how much was it, over 100 million, I guess."
"Hmm, the increase in population and the current social problems have spawned a large number of Cursed Spirits. This number is already overwhelming for traditional Jujutsu Sorcerers, and it will only get worse in the future."
Eichi turned to look at Naobito.
"The High School has always been sending fourteen and fifteen-year-old children to the battlefield to exorcise Cursed Spirits, and as far as I know, the casualty rate for Jujutsu Sorcerers, especially civilian Jujutsu Sorcerers, is very high."
Most of the powerful Cursed Spirits later were exorcised by Gojo Satoru and Geto, and even so, the Jujutsu World was severely understaffed.
"Moreover, these new things can be used not only by ordinary people but also by Jujutsu Sorcerers. Isn't your Jujutsu also a very trendy form of Jujutsu?"
Projection Sorcery, which breaks down one second into 24 frames for high-speed movement, and enemies attacked by Projection Sorcery must also move according to the trajectory of Projection Sorcery, otherwise they will fall into a one-second controlled state.
This felt a bit like old animations with 24 frames per second.
"And that principal of the Kyoto School is also quite trendy."
"Hahaha, indeed."
Naobito took another gulp of sake.
Eichi's idea was to change the Jujutsu World and make it better.
This also considered the interests of the elders in the Jujutsu World, which was good.
Even if it wasn't a comprehensive consideration, it was fine; these elders would help mediate.
The fear was that Eichi would forcefully implement his ideas without a word, leading to bloodshed.
Ding-a-ling.
The phone rang.
Eichi gestured to Naobito, then answered the call.
"Hello, Sister Minako."
It was Fushiguro Minako calling.
"Hmm? You said Toji hasn't been home for almost half a year?"
From Fushiguro Minako, Eichi received an unexpected answer.
It turned out that Toji had disappeared after saying he was going to work, and he hadn't been home for almost half a year, nor had he sent any money home.
The most crucial thing was that Fushiguro Minako couldn't contact Toji and had no idea about his situation.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll help you look for Toji."
Eichi hung up the phone after speaking.
From Fushiguro Minako's tone, Eichi roughly guessed something, such as Fushiguro Minako running out of money.
After all, resources are scarce in the island nation, and the cost of living is not low. Plus, she had two children to take care of, so she couldn't work peacefully.
"Old man, do you know where Toji is?"
Eichi looked at Naobito.
"Toji?"
Naobito pulled out his phone and made a call.
Soon, the other party sent Naobito a text message.
"Here, Toji's location. If you're fast enough, you might still find him here."
The text message showed the location of a club.
However, Eichi's thoughts were still too simple.
When he arrived at the entrance of the club, a question arose in Eichi's mind.
Is this club, is it legitimate?
After giving the waiter some tips, the waiter led Eichi to a private room.
Why did it feel even more wrong?
Knock, knock, knock.
Eichi knocked on the door.
He was afraid that if he barged in, he might see something he shouldn't.
"Please come in."
Hearing this, Eichi pushed the door open and entered.
Such great evil.
Looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in luxurious clothes, leaning against Toji's shoulder like a delicate bird, Eichi couldn't help but exclaim.
Was she a dairy cow in her previous life?
"You are?"
The rich woman's eyes lit up when she saw Eichi.
"Hello, I'm here to find Toji."
Eichi felt something was wrong and wanted to retreat.
"Ah, it's you, kid."
"Toji-kun, who is this child?"
"Someone I know. Can you wait for me a moment?"
"Of course, we can get to know each other later."
"Hmm, we'll talk later."
With that, Toji got up and went outside the club with Eichi.
"Hey, Toji, are you working as a host now?"
It felt like unlocking a new illustration of Toji.
Eichi felt that if a game were released, Toji could totally be split into several versions to sell.
There was Ogama's divine gear Toji.
The information Toji or assassin Toji from the time he fought Geto and Gojo Satoru.
The spiritual manifestation Toji from the Shibuya Incident.
And now, this host Toji.
